Is There Any Chances For Height Growth In A 17 Years Old Male?

Hello. I am a African American male. I am 17 years and 3 months old. I am between the heights of 5'6 and 5'7. My mom is 5'1 and my dad is nearly 6'. My dad graduated high school at about 5'7 or 5'8 and he went to college and came back about 5'9. And he just turned 52 years old and he got his height measured at a physical about 2 years ago and he was nearly 6' and he didn't even notice he had grown over the years. Is there any chance of me growing any taller?
